WLAN_TKIP(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		  WLAN_TKIP(4)

NAME
       wlan_tkip -- TKIP and Michael crypto support for	802.11 devices

SYNOPSIS
       device wlan_tkip

DESCRIPTION
       The  wlan_tkip  module  handles	the TKIP and Michael cryptographic re-
       quirements of the WPA and 802.11i protocols.  It	does encapsulation and
       decapsulation of	TKIP-encoded 802.11 frames and	optionally  calculates
       the  TKIP  cipher  and  Michael MIC.  The wlan_tkip module is an	802.11
       cryptographic plugin module for use by the wlan(4) module.  This	module
       is automatically	loaded if a TKIP key is	configured; typically by a WPA
       supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant, or a WPA authenticator  pro-
       gram  such as hostapd.  Should the underlying network device not	be ca-
       pable of	doing the TKIP and/or Michael calculations  in	hardware,  the
       wlan_tkip module	will do	the work.
